President Donald Trump said the United States "will continue to be the cleanest and most environmentally friendly country on Earth" as he announced a U.S. pullout from an international accord designed to curb climate change.

But facts muddy that claim.

Data show that the U.S. is among the dirtiest countries when it comes to heat-trapping carbon pollution. One nation that has cleaner air in nearly every way is Sweden.

2) Scientists Denounce AP’s Borenstein For Hysterical Global Warming Article – December 15, 2008

3) Say it ain’t so! AP’s Borenstein Reports: ‘The Wind seems to be dying down…the cause may be global warming’ – June 10, 2009 – Excerpt: Scientist mocks wind claims: ‘How can they have more intense storms from the same effect that is lessening winds?’

4) Two dozen prominent scientists denounce AP’s Borenstein’s article promoting sea level fears in the year 2100 – September 24, 2007

5) AP’s Borenstein excludes scientists and peer-reviewed studies countering claims of allegedly ‘melting’ Antarctic – March 27, 2008

6) AP’s BORENSTEIN INCORRECTLY CLAIMS SCIENTISTS PRAISE GORE’S MOVIE – June 27, 2006

7) AP’s Borenstein inaccurately described scientist as “one of the few remaining scientists skeptical of the global warming harm caused by industries that burn fossil fuels’ – July 27, 2006

8) Kudos to AP’s Seth Borenstein for writing the most balanced of all the media’s articles about this new Antarctic study – January 21, 2009

9) Arctic Scare! AP’s Borenstein out of control (again) – Warns of ‘Tipping Point’ – Quotes James Hansen, Bob Corell & a Greenpeace ‘scientist’ – August 28, 2008 – Excerpt: More ominous signs Wednesday have scientists saying that a global warming “tipping point” in the Arctic seems to be happening before their eyes: Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is at its second lowest level in about 30 years. […] Five climate scientists, four of them specialists on the Arctic, told The Associated Press that it is fair to call what is happening in the Arctic a “tipping point.” NASA scientist James Hansen, who sounded the alarm about global warming 20 years ago before Congress, said the sea ice melt “is the best current example” of that. […] On top of that, researchers were investigating “alarming” reports in the last few days of the release of methane from long frozen Arctic waters, possibly from the warming of the sea, said Greenpeace climate scientist Bill Hare, who was attending a climate conference in Ghana.

Election outcome doesn't support MSM's "he'll never be President" claim.

CO2 is not pollution.

That is where the propagandist puts forward his claim.

Reject that notion, and he is shown to be wrong.

As soon as someone refers to CO2 production as “carbon pollution” you know he’s an idiot. CO2 is not “pollution”; It’s trace (400ppm) gas essential to life. Plants absorb it and give us the oxygen we need to live.

As CO2 increases plant growth increases. CO2 is green.

CO2 is not a pollution..

It was in the 1950 when the lakes and riverswere so polluted you could not swim in them

The air was so dirty you could not see the sum

Fools all

In 1950 it was we were going to die from the cold

Exactly. They can grab any study they want. It’s sad how the left has corrupted science to this extent.

Oh? Do tell.

While you're at it, tell me why we've funding The EPA and passing stricter and stricter regulations if they're not working?

HA! Boom! In yo' face, suckah! You just strung yourself up by your own petard.

Whatever a petard is.

While we're at it, Seth, (if that's your REAL name), riddle me why we have some of the stupidest kids on the planet while spending obscene amounts of money on education.

Liberal fools: “We finally did it!!!!! We’ve saved the earth...All the CO2 is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Liberal fools: “Why are all the plants and trees dying????...Why is it getting so hard for me to breathe???”
